Hello,
this is not so common :-) Normal way is to use FreeBSD as gate, but
there is so nice command by name 'man' (shor of manual)
Just say "man ftp" (without quotes on shell prompt)
Then search (hit /) for proxy
You'll find (near end of manual):
ftp_proxy URL of FTP proxy to use when making FTP URL requests
(if not defined, use the standard ftp protocol).
http_proxy URL of HTTP proxy to use when making HTTP URL requests.
To set environment variable use 'setenv ftp_proxy _something_' if your shell
is csh/tcsh or 'export ftp_proxy=_something_' if your shell is sh/bash/zsh etc.
Place these commands to your starup file (.login for csh or .profile for sh)
And, please, before asking something look into documentation. There is so
nice command 'man'.
Good luck.
